Metal Tiger plc (LON:MTR) the London Stock Exchange AIM listed investor
in strategic natural resource opportunities is pleased to announce that
it has appointed VSA Capital as Financial Adviser and Broker to secure
project level financing in respect of the Company’s Thai interests.

Key points:

VSA to initiate investor research on Metal Tiger with a specific focus
on the Thai interests;

VSA will combine with SI Capital and Spark Advisory Partners to
explore strategic options for the Company’s Thai mineral opportunities
either through IPO, reverse takeover or joint venture agreements;

As part of the review of strategic options, VSA will also explore
sources of project level financing for the Company’s interests in
Thailand;

The Board believes that VSA’s industry knowledge and access to capital
in Asia will be of great assistance in this regard; and

MTR and members of the Thai joint venture intend to conduct a
preliminary roadshow in Hong Kong in the near term.

Paul Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Metal Tiger said “I am very
pleased to announce the appointment of VSA Capital which will enable the
Company to access strategic project level financing for Thailand and its
investments in-country.

Metal Tiger was pleased to conclude the commercial agreement in respect
of the Boh Yai and Song Toh silver-lead-zinc mines in Thailand. This
agreement now enables us to explore corporate transactions that will
provide this and other Thai projects with a platform to access their own
funding as well as demonstrate the true value of each interest, which
the board believe has not been properly reflected in the market value of
the Company.

The Metal Tiger board are keen to see all the Company’s current and
future investing interests stand on their own feet commercially. This
means project level financing and the introduction of vehicles through
which the Company may realise the value created through its early
support of these projects and consequently the Board will look to share
some of that value through future distributions to shareholders.

In the specific case of Thailand, we believe there is an outstanding
investment case for foreign investment in Thai resource opportunities,
and Metal Tiger Thailand has the team in place to manage and advance
such opportunities. Thailand has extensive geological potential, and
with an appropriate due respect and regard for environmental protection
and community support, we believe incoming capital will be well-rewarded
for demonstrating belief and commitment in the opportunity to support
Thai resource companies such as Metal Tiger Thailand.”
